The report received last week Oche failure of Messrs. 31 6 Gi1-. livray, Thain, and Co., of Montreal, from the circumstance, as said, of the Montreal bank being exposed to stiffer a heavy loss, Was followed by an idle and unfounded report on Monday of the bankruptcy of that bank. There were, in consequence, both on Tuesday and yesterday, a large return of its notes and demands for specie at the branch bank in this city. These de mands were of course readily Met, and about 7,0001. in coin had been paid out for its notes up to yesterday evening. The alarm among the holders of such hank-notm particularly among the retailers, was very general, and will probably cause several thousand pounds of coin more to be exchanged fornotes. The demand for specie, from the loss of confidence small descriptions of paper money, extended also to the Quebec bank. The following were the prices of 'United States stock on the 13th ult.:—At New York, 8 per Cents. of 1813, 100 . to 1001; of 1814, 101 to 102 ; of 1815, 102 to 104 ; 'Five per Cents.. of 1820, 100 ; Three per.

We trust we shall bear no more such unbecoming expressions in the II ouse of Commons. A communication ftom Macclesfield gives a truly afflicting representation of the distress to which three-fourths of the numerous popu lation of that town, are reduced. Such is the extremity to which the people are brought, that the more fortunate inhabitants of the place, have felt it imperative on their humanity, to come forward with a voluntary subscription, from which 2s. 6(1. per week is allowed to every distressed family.

UPPER CANADA. POSV OFFICE DEFARTNIEWT..—At a late hour lot me_ iag a very animated debate of two days, on the Post Office De partment, on Mr. Fothergill's inquiry into the state of the Pro. vineel closed: with the adoption of the following ResolutiOns proposed by Mr. Rolph lat.—Resolved, That the Post-Office department raises in this Province a coriiiderable sum of money, contrary. to 'the spirit of the 46th and 47th clauses in the statute of the 31st of the late lUng, Which, it is desirable, should be under the controul and direction of the Provincial Legislature.—Carried. %I.—Resolved, That a well-regulated Post-Office, respon sible to the constituted authorities in this Province, and extend ed in the number of establishments, would equally tend to correct and 'prevent abuses in the department to facilitate the commercial intercourse, and to promote the diffusion of know. ledge.—Carried. • 3 d...—Resolved, that the Post-Office must in time become an important branch of the Provisional Revenue.—Carried. In the discussion of this question, a scene of insolence and corruption, on the part of two or three deputy postmasters, was developed, that we do believe could not be equalled, and would not he submitted to, in any other part of his Majesty's domi nions; And if these Resolutions have the effect to bring the regulation and controul of this department, under the Provincial Legislature, we believe, most sincerely, that the gentlemen who Lupported them will have conferred a benefit on the people of this colony beyond any thing that has yet been bestowed by our Provincial Legislature. LOWER CANADA. QUEEEC, Jar:. 2.—The Season.—We had very heavy falls of rain last 'night and on.Snturday. Yesterday the weather re. sembleda spring day, and to-diy , our _streets are filled water. The (Isiah Of snow whicti has fallen up this periOd of the season is less than is recollected for many years past. In the upper districts, and indeed in this, the stubble is seen in the fields. The past summer, and the winter so far, have been the warmest and mildest of any in the recollection of the oldest inhabitants. t" As to the objections taken by the lion. Gentleman to the iMilerence between the establishments of the guards and those of the horse and infant - I of the line, the question had been fre quently and fully discussed in that House, and he would not now suffer hitnseif to be drawn into it. Whether right or wrong, Abstractedly, Government hid determined, a n d Parliament had repeatedly consulted on the propriety of keeping two kinds of farce, the guards and regiments of . the line."' Such is the answer of an Officer-elthe Crown to a Member of Parliament, seeking informatiort no a point of the public expenditure. Does Lord PALMERSTON imagine that because a subject has been discussed in Parliament before, it is never again to he broLgilt under consideration, or that ,such a reason is sufficient to extenuate Isis conduct, in openly avowing that he would not permit himself to be drawn into the question again ? Surely the Nobles Lord forgot himself—forgot the situation which he: held in the administration of the Public, Affairs, , and the submission due to that assembly, before : .which nod to which this extraordinary avowal -~" The following is an extract of a 'letter dated Bombay, Sept. 10; it is written by, an officer of rank in the army, who is well acquainted with the particulars which he relates;—" We are all in a bustle again.on thisside of.

" The authorities of Sindh, the country on each bank of the " Indus, are showing a hostile disposition, and we shall, " think, shortly have something to say to them, and perhaps " extend- our territory in that quarter.

Government of the Pays-Bas has approved of the scheme of' "a' canal from Liege to Mews strieht, and atso of forriiing a suspension bridge over the Meuse, between Ain appe and Seraing. • It is generally supposed that this is necessarily the last Session of the present Parliament. This is a mistake, for though this is the seventh Ses sion„it is yet ostly the sixth year, and the legal duration of Parliament is " seven years," not seven Sessions. The seven years will expire next April twelVe-months. Ministers, of course, will not allow- the-prerogative of the Crown . to fall into desuetude by waiting the legal termination. The Stamp.oftice is preparing by order of Mr. lixitittcs, and preparatory to the discussions on Friday, an account siwning the Number and value of Country Bankers' Notes, of each de scription, stamped in eacb quarter of a year, from Jan. 6, 1820, to Jan.s, 1828 ; and the total value of the whole stamped in each year during the same period.

THE STARVING WEAYERS.----11iS MAJESTY has given orders that the rooms of his , palace at Windsor shall be hung round with silk of the Spitalfields manufacture. It is expected that many of the nobility will testify their compas sion for, the unfrrtunate weavers in a similar manner. The distress in Spitalfields is now dreadful in tha.extremei many of the wretched fimilies are actually starving. • • HORRIBLE Occuattatict.—On. Wednesday night, at 8 o'clock, a most horrible occurrence took place in the town of Neweastlei county of Limerick. Sergeant Holland, of the 62d Regi ment,.who was stationed there on the recruiting service, waowalking up the street with a young man, who had offered himself for enlistment; when they got to the top e of the square, and not 100 yards from the barrack, the person he had been 'walking with stepped aside, and joined three ether men, who iMmediately a pproached Serjeant Holland, and deliberately fired a shot at him, which took effect, and the cont ents struck him in the left arm, between the elbow and the shoulder, inflicting a most desperate wound, the entire of the fleSh baiting been torn away from the undey and the bath: or slugs part, passing through at the ,upper.

It is now ascertained that the report of a Loan of 300,000/., yesterday, to a South American house, by the B►►nk of England, is unfounded.

The Other performers equally claimed (and received) their share of approbation. The beautiful quintet to in the first act was rapturously encored ; and the duet between VEUIUT) and Signora Bost excited a very general 'call for repetition, which was not enforced on account of the evident indisposition of one of the principal Performers (V,ELLom)—The Divertisement of the Temple de la Concorde was well received ; and the Ballet of La Creche Casssee closed the evening's entertainment-With eclat. COY £NT•GA Opera of Guy Man tiering was performed last night, in which , Mr. 811,111.111 sustained the part of Henry Bertram. It was first appearance at this theatre these seven years. In addition to the usual airs, Mr. BRA. IA.II, who was, perhaps, never in finer voice at any period of his life, introduced the-old Scottist Ballad of 44 March, march, F.ttrick and Teviot. dale," and a new Ballad, composed .by Mr. Lee, of Dublin, entitled, 44 Woman." The effect of the former . was animating in the highest degree; insomuch so t - that we • think it likely to prove as great a favourite as 44 Sc ots wha hae" has been, and is still, though, perhaps, it has nearly hail its run on the 'London boards. — The second is a very sweet air, and likely to be come popular also. A very few nights will, iu all probability, be sufficient to establish both.— Miss PAToN made her first appearance this 'sea7 son as Lucy Bertram. The effort was eminently successful, but, as in all undertakings, however ably executed, there will be some inequality, we must confess that we were less pleased with her t 4 Rest thee, Babe," than with any other part of her brilliant performance . Mr. kit LE was Colonel Mannerly. l'be part requires nothing more than a gentlemanly a ppearance and an easy address. TO say that he brought these qualities to his aid, is only to g ive bite credit for what no one will doubt ; but then they were the only qualifications required.

This seems very extraordinary, as we understand Mr. Hogan established for the claimants neat 300,0001. in. interest alone, after several years' expensive litigation. Mr. Hogan, we are informed, intends to follow up his claim for costs against the• rest of those parties who have acted so un• gratefully and unjustly towards him.—( Limerick Chroniole.)

WAGER respecting the ESIVEROR NAYMEON.I The American papers received lust night con-. taro the follaning report of a curious law case,, respecting the drub► of BUUNAPARTE N TH.E DISTRICT COURT OIIPLIII4ADELPIIIA... JOUN PUILLIPS v. STEPHEN IVES. This was an action brought upon' a wager laid on the 14th of May, 1821. The defendant "betted 100 to 40 dollars with the plaintiff. that NAPOLEON BLONAPARTE would, before two years from that day, be removed from, or escape from, the island of St. Helena, and it was agreed that if he should 'd'ir there within that period, the defendant should be considered AS having lust the.bet." He died at St. Helena within the time. 'rho question was on the validity of this wager. Judge 111 4 KEAN was of opinion that wagers in general .were recordable by law. He was for giving judgment in favour of the plaintiff. Judge BARNES,' was of opinion that all wagers were unlawl, ful in Pennsylvania, and of course, this. could not be the subject Of' an action—he considered the case much at large, and investi, gated it with great ability; his voice was, therefore in favour of giving judgment 'for the defendant. Judge 1101.1.0 WELL was. of opinion, that the authoritfel,„ both in England and America, were too numerous and weighty in support of the recovery of wagers in general to be overturned 'by any power but that of legislature, . but that this partieulsr tenger was void.
